4 Foolish Craze.

The Chromiele says the red-headed
girl and white horse craze has struck
Charlotte at last. The craze has
prevailed in Northern towns for some
time past, and the "gist''' of the thing
seems to be that whenever you see a
red-headed girl, you will see white
horse. AS red-headed woman walks
along the street she becomes aware
of the excitement she is creating.
Every man who sees her stops short
and begins to look up and down for 8
white horse. Men who see her pass
the window rush out of the door to
look for white horse. If she goes
into a store she can not but observe
that the clerks slip to the window or
door looking for white horse, and
she sees men, as she passes along the
promenade, signaling each other and
shouting back and forth. One of the
prettiest young ladies in Charlotte,
whose crown of sunset hair has been
her pride, went home crying the
other afternoon and declared she
never would 60 on the street again
till every idiot of man was dead,
who, just as soon as they saw her,
began looking for white horse.

NICOTINE AND THE STOMACH.

I suppose that the least harmful
method of smoking is the use Of a
clean pipe with mild tobacco-a
pipe that has not absorbed the nico-
tine. The harmfulness Of pipe
comes from its having absorbed a
great quantity of nicotine, SO that
you are constantly taking more or
less of it into the system. The cigar
would come next in favor. Of
course, the stronger pipe is the
more nicotine there is in it, and
the more nicotine you have the
greater is the chance of injurlng
your system. The chief constitu-
ents Of tobacco smoke are water,
carbonic acid, carbonic oxide in a
state of gas and nicotine.
When a man smokes too much
the excess produces redness and ir-
ritation of the stomach, and the
membrane secretes irregularly and
does not produce the due amount Of
gastric fluid. Hence digestion is
interfered with. That is the first
phase. After awhile the stomach
gets into such a condition that it
tolerates this state of existence, SO
that there is not the same nausea
produced in an old smoker that we
find in a younger smoker.
Whether smoking is good for a
man depends on his organization.
I do not think that smoking is ever
really beneficial to nervous man.
Then, again, much depends on how
much man smokes, and when he
smokes. There are certain nen
who, when they are tired, when
their nervous system has been on
too great strain, will smoke one
or two cigars; they will become
quiet. The nervous man should
not smoke at all. Plegmatic per-
sors would be least liable to be
harmed.-W. W. Rutler, ". D., IN
the Epoch.

General Beauregard.
From the Nev York Graphic.


A slight, low-set, rather pudgy look
ing gentleman, with a flowing gray
moustache and goatee lengthening out
his rounded face, walked up and down
in the Hoffman house without anyone
knowing him or paying him attention.
He was not man that another would
turn to look twice st, indeed there was
nothing about him that would distin-
guish him from an ordinary hotel visitor
obliged to pass his Sunday in New York.
The new generation grown up around
him since he, on the 18th Of April, 1861,
sighted the first gun that swept its
charge over Fort Sumter know the little
man-General Besuregard-only as a
sort OF historical memory, and if be pass
ed away tomorrow the young people OF
the north would wonder hew he had
lived so long. He is just on the verge
OF seventy, and exactly half century
ago stepped out OF West Point one OF
the brightest graduates that school ever
sent forth. He was its superintendent
when the war troubles came on and left
to take his chsnces with the people
among whom he was born. He has fall
en- out of public notice good deal since
the war, but has grown rich and careful
OF himself and looks as though he was
liable to glide along in his gentle way
through life for ut least another ten
years

ANIMALS AND EARTHQUAKES.

Professor Milne: one Of the
Scotch coterie of students estab-
lished in Japan, where they devote
themselves to the study of earth
quakes, gives some interesting par
ticulars in the report Of the Seismo-
logical society of Japan, regarding
the effects of earthquakes on lower
animals. He quotes the case of
ponies rising in terror and prancing
about the stall thirty seconds be-
fore the shock was felt. He refers,
also, to birds hiding their heads
beneath their wings, to pheasants
screaming, and to frogs ceasing to
croak before the trembling is felt.
Geese, dogs and other animals have
been known to behave in a strange
manner several hours, or even days,
before an earthquake. .-Neac Castle

Opium Eating in Iowa.
Davenport Democrat.

Davenport Democrat.
A newspaper paragraph has been
seen in many Of the State exchanges
which states that there are H. G'0 victims
of the opium habit reported in Iowa by
the State Board OF Health. Under date
OF Aug. II Secretary Kennedy wrote to
the Democratic Gazette that the current
report vas evidently based on an inves-
tigation made by DR.. Hull, formerly 3
member Of the board. 1t originated in 3
paper prepared by the doctor, which was
published in the last biennial report.
Secretary Kennedy says in reference
to the statement before alluded to-that
10000 cases Of the opium habit have been
reported-that there is abundant reason
for believing the number OF victims OF
the habit is far in excess Of that given.
He adds that it is exceedingly difficult
to get the facts against the objection OF
druggists and the concealment OF the
victims. DR.. Hull says that ''opium Is
to-day g greater curse than alcohol, and
Justly claims a greater number OF help
less victims which do. not ell come from
the ranks of reckless men and fallen
women, but the majority OF them are to
be found among the educated and the
most honored and useful members OF
society; and, as to sex, we may count
the prostitutes so much given to this
vice, and still find respectable females
far ahead, so far as numbers are con
cerned

He was Kin to Her.

The following incident Of Mr.. and
Mrs. CleYeland's trip to St. Louis,
is reported by correspondent: An
old gentleman ventured to remark
that he believed he WAS in some way
or other connected with Mrs,
Cleveland, an ancestor Of his having
been Folsom.
AS jest one of the decorated
committeeman told her, and she said
it would give her pleasure to meet
kinsm.n.
The old gentleman was brought
up and presented.
$50 you are connection of mine"
she said sweetly.
There was an Elisha Folsom
somewhere back four or FIVE genera.
tions ago who was a great great
grandfather of mine, and, I think, Of
yours" the old man answered bash
fully.
Now, let me see," said she.
Pray, sit down. There was an Eli
shs Folsom who married -" The
pretty little woman ratified of the
names of her relatives, and glibly
showed him that of course they were
relatives.
Five minutes after the old gentle
man was relating the incident to ev.
erybody. She won him for life, and
he is big gun among his own peo-
pie, who are Republicans.

DECIDED BY A CENT.
How Portland, Oregon Received Its
Name In 1912.

1t may not be generally known
that the toss of q cent decided the
name of the second largest city on
the Pacific coast, and that, too, not
S, many years ago. 1t was in the
summer of 1912, when immigration
was pouring into Oregon. Two Of
the pioneers, A. L. Lovejoy ssnd 8
man named Overton, while en-
route from Vancouver to Oregon City,
stepped ashore from their canoe at
the point where Portland now stands,
and having examined the topography
of the surrounding country concluded
at once that it was the most eligible
position for 8 town site. At some
time during the ensuing winter they
returned, and commenced at once to
clear off the land and maka prepara'
tions for the erection OF log caoln.
Before they had carried out this
scheme Overton disposed Of his IN
terest in the claim to a man named
Pettygrove, who, in conjunction with
Lovejoy, had the claim surveyed and
the boundaries established during
the summer of 1874. A log house
was completed and occupied during
the next winter by an employee.
In the summer of 1915 more accurate
survey was made, and the ground
was laid off into streets and blocks.
Lovejoy wanted to name the city
Boston, in honor Of the capital of his
native State, while Pettygrove pre-
ferred to honor Portland, Me-, the
CITY whence he came. The toss of
cent decided the question in favor OF
Portland.
